According to the *New York Times*, a confidential U.S. intelligence report has undercut former President **Donald Trump’s** hopes of celebrating a decisive military victory against Iran ahead of the **NATO Summit** in The Hague.
The leaked assessment, reportedly issued by the **Pentagon**, contradicted Trump's claims that the recent U.S. airstrike had "crippled" Iran’s nuclear program. Instead, the report stated that while the strike targeted three nuclear facilities, it only **temporarily disrupted** the program—delaying progress by just a few months.
Trump, who arrived in the Netherlands aiming to project strength and diplomatic success, was reportedly "frustrated" by the leak that cast doubt on the impact of the attack.
In response, Trump publicly **blamed CNN and the New York Times**, accusing them of undermining the operation and attempting to sabotage his political narrative. His special envoy to the Middle East, **Steven Witkoff**, went further, calling the leak a **“security betrayal”** that warrants investigation.
The situation has reignited debate in Washington over the transparency and timing of military disclosures, particularly in the context of high-stakes diplomacy.
